Plan the perfect cowboy birthday party for your little cowhands and their posse with a Western-themed party. With the right decorations, games and food, you can create a hoedown that your child and his or her friends will remember for years to come. Find cowboy party supplies and crafts for a colossal cowboy party, and don't forget to capture every moment with your camera. Invitations. Create cowboy party invitations that look like "wanted" posters using recycled brown cardstock paper. Print a black-and-white picture of the cowboy or cowgirl of honor in the center and use an old-style font or block lettering. Include the time and place for the round-up on the cowboy party invitations. Use fun phrases such as "howdy partner" and "saddle up for the showdown" for added laughs. Ask guests to come in their favorite cowboy attire, including rugged jeans, flannels and boots. Decorations. For cowboy party decorations, cover tables with red and white tablecloths. Display "wanted" posters of the birthday cowboy or cowgirl throughout the cowboy party room. Add balloons in colors of red, white and blue. Shape strands of rope into lassos and place them on the tables or hang them on chairs. Use bandanas or a Western-themed fabric for place mats. Create large cutouts of cacti, horses and cowboys for decorations. Bales of hay, stalks of corn and other items can add to the cowboy party decorations. Place bottles of water or juice boxes in a wheelbarrow filled with ice for refreshments. Dress up. Costumes and clothing can add to the cowboy birthday party theme. Because all guests may not know each other, give each guest a name tag cut to look like a sheriff's badge. Use silver cardstock cut into star shapes and attach the name tags with safety pins or tape. Provide guests with bandanas in a variety of colors. Give each guest a straw cowboy hat and a water pistol for an authentic cowboy look. Games. Though cowboys can be serious, there is nothing like having several fun games planned for even the roughest, toughest cowboy to enjoy. If you're holding a summer party, tell all cowboys and cowgirls to bring their swimsuit for a shoot-out using water pistols. Have a galloping contest; use brooms as pretend ponies and have races to see whose horse is the fastest. Old-fashioned potato-sack jumping contests are easy to assemble. Hold a boot toss contest: Have children toss bean bags, gold coins or other cowboy party supplies into an old pair of worn cowboy boots. Food. Create an old-fashioned homemade spread, complete with a cowboy party cake. Barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs or sloppy joes are always a favorite for little cowboys and cowgirls. Salsa and chips, beef jerky and even pulled pork sandwiches are additional ideas. Corn on the cob and cornbread are traditional cowboy staples. Create a cowboy party cake in the shape of a hat, pony or boot to continue the theme. Goodie bags. Thank each guest for coming by giving them a galvanized pail filled with cowboy party favors. Fill each pail with a small amount of straw or hay. Add trail mix, gold coins and licorice rope to each pail. Tie pieces of raffia or fabric for additional decoration to the pail's handle. For other cowboy party favors, consider purchasing small plastic harmonicas, sheriff badges and cowboy figurines. View All Crafts Back to Guides Directory View All Crafts

Don't Waste Your Money

Received the table very quickly. Assembled the table and following the directions to level it. The directions stated to make small adjustments and let it adapt to the room. While making an adjustment, one of the screws broke. Before the screw broke, we could never get the table to level out, the pucks kept falling off the table in the middle and one end no matter what adjustments were made.
Requested a return and after many phone calls and emails, they issued a credit.
After doing research on a replacement, we were told that these table are "not real shuffleboard tables" and more suited for just kids. The playing surface of this table is only 1.5" and no epoxy seal on it. It would be worth your while to save your money and buy a better quality table. This table is worthless since trying to play a game on a table that won't level is impossible. If you do buy this, save the packaging, because you will need it to return it.

great fun once assembled

It takes about 3 hours to assemble and a lot of patience. Directions are terrible and not detailed enough. I recommend loosely tightening screws until you're sure you've assembled it correctly. Our game came with a broken scoreboard, bent rim and ball with a hole in it. Overstock was great in sending replacement parts. Thank god because after spending so long to assemble it I wasn't about to take it apart and rebox it. I gave 4 stars because once assembled and everything works, it is a blast. The kids love it.

Fun product - after hours of excruciating assembly

I would recommend this to a friend ONLY if they were prepared for a long tedious assembly and understood the following. Plan on:
(1) not having all of the required parts. Be sure to check the parts with the inventory list before you start assembly. We were missing a few pieces and one piece was broken. The manufacturer sent us the parts that we needed, no questions asked. But it took about a week to receive. So if you are buying this for a birthday present, for example, you have to factor in that extra time.
(2) spending 3 to 6 hours assembling. Seriously. It took us the good part of an afternoon. But we did it watching a football game. Stopped for lunch. Etc. If you're in a hurry to get it done, you're setting yourself up to be really frustrated. For some of the assembly, we needed two people (one person to hold something while the other used the drill, etc). But most of it my husband did on his own.
(3) using a drill. For some absurd reason, the table does ...

A VERY nice home machine

We love classic games, and we love hockey even more. This game is fun for the kids, but I think the adults seem to get more use out if it. The quality is amazing and I can see us using this for many years to come.

okay

Here is what it says in their description:
Includes 24 inch x 48 inch MDF double-sided playing surfaces
Includes game parts and playing instructions
Includes storage and tote bag
Here is what is doesn't say:
There are only 3 double-sided playing surfaces.
The MDF is very thin on two of the boards, they wobble and move like a piece of sheet metal.
The storage bag is very flimsy, mine already tore.
My thoughts:
I would prefer each board was as thick as the thickest one because it is plenty sturdy. The sturdy board also has a different material as the playing surface cover making it more durable too. The two smaller boards have a plastic type of 'sticker' adhered to them which seems like they may start to wear out quickly (time will tell). They are a great idea and I will probably use the idea to make my own with sturdy MDF wood and paint/draw the surfaces with my own games/fields. Fun idea which can be done on your own. The more difficult part would be recreating the game pieces f...
